Relocations in alternative code can be dangerous, because the code is copy/pasted to the text section after relocations have been resolved, which can corrupt PC-relative addresses. However, relocations might be acceptable in some cases, depending on the architecture. For example, the x86 alternatives code manually fixes up the target addresses for PC-relative jumps and calls. So disallow relocations in alternative code, except where the x86 arch code allows it. This code may need to be tweaked for other arches when objtool gets support for them.
